Chicken Pot Pie

A lot of recipes call for frozen veggies. I liked this one because I could taylor it to what my family would eat since it uses fresh veggies. You may have some filling leftover. I saved it and put it in with our leftovers.

2 9" pie crusts (I did the Pillsbury box kind)
4 T. butter, divided
1 small onion, minced
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 carrots, diced
2 T. dried parsley
1 t. dried thyme
salt and pepper to taste
2 cubes chicken bouillon
2 cups water
3 potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 1/2 cups cubed cooked chicken
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup milk

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Roll out bottom pie crust, press into a 9 inch pie pan, set aside.

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add the onion, celery, carrots, parsley, oregano, and salt and pepper. Cook and stir until the vegetables are soft. Stir in the bouillon and water. Bring mixture to a boil. Stir in the potatoes, and cook until tender but still firm.

In a medium saucepan, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Stir in the turkey and flour. Add milk, and heat through. Stir turkey mixture into vegetable mixture, and cook until thickened. Cool slightly, then pour mixture into the unbaked pie shell. Roll out the top crust, and place on top of filling. Flute edges, and make 4 slits in the top crust to let out steam. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees, and continue baking for 20 minutes, or until crust is golden brown.
